MSI K7N2-IL 2M/B and MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra

Hi
I wonder if you could help me.
I am curious, the below is the spec of my machine.
AMD Athlon XP 3000 + 333 FSB CPU
MSI K7N2-IL 2M/B
256 GEFORCE FX 5900 ULTRA GRAPHICS
though the graphics card is reported as MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra [Nividia GeForce 5900 Ultra] in Windows control panel.
I am needing to learn more about exactly what is what in this PC.
I have installed MSI Live monitor and have upgraded to NVIDIA nForce System Drivers though my graphic driver is still reported as 4.4.0.3 or 43.51 [another question why are there two versions given to graphic drivers?]
As Live monitor doesn't report any further updates possible when there are newer Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website - can I install these ?
Also I am looking for a utility to monitor, change fan speed and temperature, is the Nvidia system utility ok to use? It says that it's only compatible with
nForce3 Pro
nForce3
nForce2
I'm not sure if I only have Nforce ?
I would really appreciate any help you may give - I know that the above probably sounds as if I'm as thick as 2 short planks.
Thanks in advance

I also had problems with Halo. I downloaded the Det 52.13 beta drivers and everything works now. Also, Halo runs much much faster with these drivers. You can find them here:

Geforce FX 5900 Ultra (256) Ram DDR crash

recently my Geforce FX 5900 Ultra (256) Ram DDR has started crashing, i play a game tehn after a while the game freezes and i hear a loud screeching noise that almost deafens me through my headphones my omly option is to then turn off the pc as i can do anything with the computer :( i checked the tem pof the card just in windows normal operation and its 50 degrees celsius is this normal?

Actually that models isn't bad at 20A but a little light considering all the hardware you have, try going barebones without all the PCI cards and the fairy lights.
You didn't post your IRQ shares, and I'd hedge my bets the PCI cards are not in the best slots due to IRQ conflicts. It's a first I've seen of a crash like that but it would not surprise me if it is an IRQ conflict.
Again, remove all PCI devices and reboot a few times, USe the "Reset Configuration Data" setting in the BIOS after you remove each or both PCI cards at boot.

Geforce FX 5900 Ultra (256) Ram DDR

Hi, I'm fixing to buy this card and I was wondering if I would be able to use it on a 4x AGP slot until I buy a motherboard with a 8x agp slot? Thanks.

Agp1x and 2x uses 3.3V, agp4x uses 1.5V and agp8x uses 0.8V.
But it will work because the card is backward compatible to agp4x.
agp 8x uses 0.8v? in my bios it is set to 1.6v!!!!! is this wrong do i lower this or increase or what? that is so confusing!

Fx 5900 ultra flickering fix

if you have the problem
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showindex.php?s=&postid=190078#post190078
NVIDIA was made aware of an issue involving the GeForce FX 5900 series of graphics cards where some users have reported a slight "flickering" of the image on their screen, visible on a light color background in certain 3D scenes.
In examining the information available, NVIDIA has determined that the issue may involve an interaction between select combinations of the graphics card, system, monitor, other electronic components and the application which creates noise or signal interference.
If you are experiencing this issue on a GeForce FX 5900 or GeForce FX 5900 Ultra card, you can download this driver fix (9.28 MB). It is available on our affiliate sites:
http://www.3dgpu.com/modules/wfsect...hp?articleid=72
http://www.bjorn3d.com/ubbthreads/s...sb=5&o=&fpart=1
http://www.nvnews.net/files/drivers/nvidia/45.33_xp.zip
If you experience any other issues - please email us at [email protected]
Other web sites hosting these drivers include:
http://www.3dchipset.com/drivers/of...ia/nt5/4533.php

O.K, I took a chance & Just installed em right over the Omega drivers and the flickering has stopped in games and it appears I still have the capabilities of the Omega drivers such as overclocking, AGP settings, artifacts testing, and Texture sharpening as well as performance/high performance/Quality settings for the Omega Drivers.
I haven't tested to see if these still work or not Yet- But I will & report back what I find.
The Flickering Has Stopped- Kudo's To Nvidia for the fix- Now, If I can just stop My Eyes from flickering I'll be all set =)
BTW, For anyone that is interested, These Omega Drivers are sanctioned By Nvidia so to speak (They've given the developpers permission & Blessings I guess to modify the drivers for performance as well as Quality optimizations)
My 3dmark 2003 score went from 4913 with the 45.23 drivers from Nvidia to 5122 with these Omega drivers installed under the performance installation (There are 2 installations, one for Quality and one for performance-I chose performance)
The good thing about these drivers is You just instal directly over the Nvida drivers- No worries-it tells You right in the help file to do this-So no leangthy uninstals and clean reinstals are necessary =)
With these drivers, You get an overclock setting (Which is nice because it has a utility built right in to test Your new settings on the fly) and You get a new agp settings GUI too- check em out, they are nice drivers for sure.

FX 5900 Ultra 256mb

Hi,
I recently bought a Geforce FX 5900 Ultra 256mb OEM and i flashed the bios to a 5950 Leadtek bios. Its working fine, but im wondering where i can get a Vivo cable? I looked on ebay and newegg no one sells it seperately or does the Vivo function not work anymore because i flashed it with the 5950 Leadtek bios?
Thnx

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
The most powerful, current 4x AGP Mac graphics card is the ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Pro RoHS (128mb).
The 256mb version is no longer produced, but is occasionally found used, or as a flashed PC version.
The Geforce 5900 was never made in a Mac version.
There are equally, or more powerful, flashed graphics card options. The ATI 9800XT, the Geforce 6800, and the Geforce 7800 are available as, or can be converted to Mac compatible cards.
If you pursue a flashed card, do your research, and you could have very good results.

5900 Ultra with only 128 mb DDR ?

Hello people!
I just bought a nBox with a GeForce FX 5900 Ultra with 256 mb DDR. But after installing the latest driver (5214) provided by MSI, I've just discovered that my VGA Card has only 128 mb DDR. I found it strange because I don't know any Ultra version with 128 mb.
I'd like to have the help of yours to solve this problem. What can be the solution? A new BIOS version? (I don't find any in Live Update 3) A new diferent driver? Taking the Card back to the vendor?
Please people! Help me about this problem.
Thank You All!

Tell me if I'm a mile off here by all means, but something weird happened with my system a couple of days ago. The AGP card in my Sig until a couple of days ago was doing exactly as described above and was strangely reporting.....
Total Local Video Memory @ 256mb
Total Local Texture Memory @ 256mb....and then frustratingly....
Total AGP Memory @ 128mb
.....Obviously it should have been reporting @ 256mb and I also thought I had a duff card too after trying a whole manner of the usual tricks to try and locate the source of the problem and sort it. I know it's not the mentioned 5900 too, but it did it all the same and depending on what Application you use to view that information as well, then unless you had one that would report more detailed info like above, if merely using Control Panel for example, then it would report just the Total AGP of 128mg (clearly incorrectly so)).
Then, I brought the new Monitor also now in my Sig those couple of days ago and installed the Drivers for it, that's the only thing that has changed on my system for a while.....
I read this thread straight away with interest on seeing it after noticing my FX5600 doing the exact same, and on reaing these posts I went back to double check it again, and I have just found that mine is now correctly reporting at 256mb...HHHhhhMMmmmm. Now it could well be coincidence, but it does seem that in my case either the Monitor itself or the improved Drivers specifically for it sorted it instantly strangely enough, maybe something to try, you just never know sometimes do you. The old Monitor wasn't exactly crap either (that was a 17" Samsung Syncmaster 750s, which very soon I'll also be plugging that in too for a Dual Monitor capability and hope that on sodoing that the problem doesn't return either, but if it did I'd be able to tell you for certain too obviously)!!!
I'm wondering if the ONLY other thing that may have had an influence is I used the AGP Display "D.O.T" and set that up to the "Commander" Setting too?? As said, other than that NOTHING at all has been changed on my system for a fair while!!!
In all probability it won't, but maybe there's an outside chance that this occurence is relatedas the FX5600 and the 5900 aren't that disimilar or detached from one another when all is said and done either other than the blatantly obvious lol!!
I'm posting in hope that maybe it could be of use after reading your posts and otherwise hope that those concerned are sorted and rid of the issue in the near future too, good luck !!

[GeForceFX] Red lines on my GeForce FX 9950 Ultra

I have recently upgraded my Graphics card from a GeForce FX 5200 to a GeForce FX 9950 Ultra. I have had no problems with the 5200 model, but when i installed the 9950 card (which is HUGE!!!) the Loading up bios screen had red vertical lines all over it and when windows boots up it severly crashes and preforms a physical memory dump. The only way to get in to xp is to run from last good known settings but everytime it detects the new card and i install the latest drivers it crashes again. When i put my old card back in (the 5200 fx) the computer works fine??? I have a 650w PSW, the MSI KT6V motherboard, 1024 of ram, 2 X 80 GB hard disks, 2 dvd burners, and an Athlon 3000+ barton processor, and im a novice with computers. Can any one help???? Its it A faulty card or am i plane dumb??? Any help will be well appreciated!!

I went out and got a spanking new 650w PSU for this card when i relised that it needed an extra power surply to it. Im just gutted cos its going to cos me to send it back to the ebuyer. thanks anyway. i just needed conformation incase i was being stupid and missed something obviouse. Thanks for your time and effort.

ATI is supposed to have better picture quality and better AA quality, but most reviews admit it's a pretty close call.

GeForce FX 5900 XT, DirectX 8 & 9 games hang -- solved.

This was my original posting:
I have recently bought a MSI GeForce FX 5900 XT VTD128. To my surprise I have exprerienced numerous crashes in games that use DirectX 8 or better. The games pauses and I get a blue Windows XP (retail version - 5.1.2600 - , without Service Pack 1) crash screen that says the game was stopped to prevent any damage to Windows and some things I should check (wich I did) and in the technical part:
*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0xF7D83E2D, 0xBA2DC29C, 0x00000000)
*** nv4_mini.sys - Address F7D83E2D base at F7CD9000, DateStamp 3fb91de8
Those hexadecimal are not within the range of memory addresses the VGA card uses.
I get the error with Freedom Fighters, GTA Vice City, GTAIII, Crazy Taxi. The latter crashing much more than the former.
I tried ePSXe (the playstation emulator) using Pete's OpenGL 2 vga plugin, wich uses T&L and pixel shader and I had no problems.
Games that use OpenGL or DirectX 7 or less seem to work fine. This was checked with Quake III and Severance: Blade of Darkness.
DirectX 9.0b tests on DirectDraw and Direct3D found no problems, plus all the files are OK.
Afterwards a friend who works repairing PCs, recommended a clean install with the latest drivers for the motherboard as well as the lastest 53.03 vga drivers (MSI version). All this to no avail; I get the same message.
I've also tried vga drivers 52.16 and 53.06 (Beta), as well as disabling Fast Writes in the motherboard BIOS.
A web search only lead me to some driver pages. MSI have no troubleshooting help about the matter, at least that I could find, neither in the manual nor the website.
I have tried using my old NVidia Vanta again and GTAIII works perfect.
Both cards use IRQ 19 and don't share it.
I've noticed that DirectX acknowledges different files to both VGAs. Vanta's principal controller file is nv4.dll whereas 5900's nv4_disp.dll. The small VDD files are nv4.sys and nv4_mini.sys respectively.
Also nv4_disp.dll has no digital signature while all the others do.
Is there any diagnostic utility I could use to better pinpoint the problem I'm having?
Thanks for reading this far.
After this cry for help I didn't want to wait for a star to fall so I kept on doing homework. I delved deeper into the forums and found in the mobos forum a thread with a reply that said that bios 7.40 for K7N2 delta-ILSR solved an incompatibility issue with Geforce FX 5900 and another with a way to clean the remains of uninstalled drivers.
I was not up to flashing the bios yet so I tried the vga in two other different PCs.
The first one had Win98 with a mobo M810MR with DIMM RAM. It worked awfully. It crashed when double clicking an icon, didn't run many games and even didn't pass the DirectX tests. That with 4X.XX drivers (I don't quite remember the version). With 53.03 (MSI version) I wasn't as unstable but still had many problems.
Another PC entered into the scene. One with WinXP and Linux, as well as a KT2V PRo Dual with DDR RAM. In WinXP still couldn't run any games or 3dMark. It even rebooted it a couple of times, just out of the blue. In Linux it worked fine but didn't try any 3D games (didn't have any). It was detected as a Generic GeForce FX though.
Before sending my vga to another region of the country (something I wasn't very prone to do in the least, as I had to pay for sending and retreiving it) so the vendor could try it and replace it (if he found it faulty).
THE ALMIGHTY SOLUTION: for those too eager to stand my babbling this is what worked.
I flashed the bios up to version 7.60 and uninstalled the drivers and used Driver Cleaner. It works without any problems now. I tried it in my other 'test' brand new WinXP install without using Driver Cleaner and it seems that flashing the bios was enough. Although I would recommend using it.
Well, that's all. I thought it could be useful to have all this in one piece.
Thanks to all that cared.

You guys didn't read the post fully SPAMMERS
He solved his problem by updating the BIOS to the latest version, he has the nVidia Chipset based motherboard and there was a known issue related to the FX series video cards. This is nForce specific.... period

Direct 3d problem with my Geforce FX 5900

It won't run any 3d applications and leaves my $3000 computer with the only purpose of complaining on online forums.
I've tried with the original drivers
I've tried with the updated drivers (45.23)
Here are my system specs:
Pentium 3.0Ghz w/ 800Mhz bus
D865PERL Motherboard
512 PC-3200 Kingston Hyper x RAM
Audigy 2
420w power supply
and the MSI Geforce FX 5900 VTD-128

I uninstalled my old nVidia drivers under Control Panel/ Add/Remove Programs...then I ran Driver Cleaner to clean all old drivers off of my system *see the sticky post at the top of the forum page here*...then I turned of the puter took the old card out, put the new card in, started the puter and installed the latest driver from nVidia's website. Worked like a charm!
Yes and a neat little story behind this mouse....
I bought it cause it was awesome I thought, got home, hooked it up, charged it for a night, used it for a week and then it died...so I figured out that the charger wouldn't charge the batteries from the base so I went and bought a separate charger and a few sets of NIMH batteries. Used it for about a month that way then tried to take it back one day to Best Buy where I bought it from. Yea Best Buy alright heheheheh They told me that I hadn't bought the extended warranty for the device and now I'd have to go back to the mfg to get it replaced...so I called Logitech. Got Tech Support on the phone and the guy made me jump thru hoops and stand on my head and all that fun stuff that we do to try to make it work. Then he said well what's your address? I gave it to him. He said you'll have it in a day or two. I said Have what? He says A whole new mouse. I get this puzzled look on my face...I say So should I ship this back when I get the new one? He say Nah keep the old one and enjoy. So now I have the working charging base that has one of the mice in it charging while I use the other one until the red light flashes to tell me it needs to be charged. Then I just take the other one out of the cradle, put the dead one in, push the button on the base, push the button on the bottom of the charged mouse and voila! I'm back in business. And I can do it even if I'm in a game and it doesn't crash my game!! How's that for a success story when all you usually hear here is negative? heheheheh

But im not sure if the MOBO will support the card.
Thanks in advance.

no reason why not so long as you have a descent power supply

Geforce FX 5900 XT and DOT

I have recently purchased a new MSI Geforce FX 5900 XT 128MB DDR VTD, I have a couple of things which I'm unsure of. First of all if I use DOT along with this card how safe it it. I know its really inviting to overclock but if I use the built in DOT technology of MSI am I violating my warranty?? Also this card is not equipped with any temperature monitoring chip, so if I use DOT and overclock how will I know when my Chip is Overheating??
Any ideas plz??
Thanks in advance
Rajiv

Dot should not void warranty, you can contact MSI and ask them as well.
For the temperature, you need to buy a temperature probe.

I tried ePSXe (the playstation emulator) using Pete's OpenGL 2 vga plugin, wich uses T&L and pixel shader and I had no problems.
Games that use OpenGL or DirectX 7 or less seem to work fine. This was checked with Quake III and Severance: Blade of Darkness.
DirectX 9.0b tests on DirectDraw and Direct3D found no problems, plus all the files are OK.
Afterwards a friend who works repairing PCs, recommended a clean install with the latest drivers for the motherboard as well as the lastest 53.03 vga drivers (MSI version). All this to no avail; I get the same message.
I've also tried vga drivers 52.16 and 53.06 (Beta), as well as disabling Fast Writes in the motherboard BIOS.
A web search only lead me to some driver pages. MSI have no troubleshooting help about the matter, at least that I could find, neither in the manual nor the website.
I have tried using my old NVidia Vanta again and GTAIII works perfect.
Both cards use IRQ 19 and don't share it.
I've noticed that DirectX acknowledges different files to both VGAs. Vanta's principal controller file is nv4.dll whereas 5900's nv4_disp.dll. The small VDD files are nv4.sys and nv4_mini.sys respectively.
Also nv4_disp.dll has no digital signature while all the others do.
Is there any diagnostic utility I could use to better pinpoint the problem I'm having?
Thanks for reading this far.

Sorry to hear about your problem m8, sounds wery strange!
Ive only exp. problems in "Beyond Good and Evil" and "Star Wars: KotOR", where the game suddently freeze's, but nowhere like your's does.
Hope someone got a solution to your problem!
